The newer design of the BFG All-Terrain is siped from the
factory. Treadwear on the newer (siped, among other things) design is
significantly better than the older designs. Traction is great, too. I
have about 20,000 miles on mine and have barely worn any of the tread
off. My only regret is that I didn't buy a 5th tire to rotate in. I don't
want to do it now because I'm probably going to buy some larger rims (and
consequently need new tires) in the next year or two.
In any event, I love these tires, and they sure beat the pants off the
stock Goodyears. (Though that didn't take much)
